Abstract

Two Pushkin Poems Zooey Park (bio) Arion We were many on the vessel;The sail stretched by some,Others pulled as oneDeep on powerful oars. In a lullOur able helmsman engagingThe rudder, steered the heavy ship silentlyAnd I—full of trust and carefree,Sang to the sailors… suddenly the womb of the seaWas crushed by a whirlwind raging…And died the pilot and every sailor!—Only I, the mysterious singer,Thrown ashore by nature's rift,Sing the ancient hymns,And my wet things,I dry in the sun under a cliff. (1827) Cyclops Tongue and mind were dazedWhen upon thee I gazed:With a single eye I was endowed.Though if the fates had allowedMe a hundred eyes to see,All my hundred would be set upon thee. (1830) [End Page 85] Zooey Park Zooey Park is a Korean-American filmmaker living in Ecuador. He is a Boston University graduate of The University Professors' Program.
